My dad will drink a beer maybe two, three times a year. ONE BEER.

He says his own dad was NOT an alcoholic but my mother says that Grandpa would drink the entire bottle of whiskey in one setting if he had it. The impediment to his alcoholism was lack of funds, apparently.

I know your questions are out of caring. I appreciate it. I appreciate trying to understand and trying to be understood.

My mom's mother was a morphine addict. Yeah, it runs pretty deep both ways.
